Ivan Rakitić

[Antimadridista1]

Expect a big performance tonight from Ivan !!

 

[linetty]

When we signed Rakitić I said it was an underwhelming signing.
Through preseason he was easily our best midfielder, His passing range is world class, Work rate is great,Brilliant vision and he has the ability to score from range.
Now, I think he is an excellent signing and he is going to be one of the players of the season.

I forgive you although it was a super stupid thing to say because he was absolutely world class at Sevilla and as a captain led them to Europa Leauge glory.

Cesc who? What a pass by Rocky!

 

[Barcaman]

Assists in his debut plus doing massive defensive work.
Very pleased.

 

[darthvader7888]

Very good game from him.

 

[barcanuck]

He is also bossing set pieces and corners from the sides like xavi used to !

 

[Kinlejus]

Never doubted the guy, I knew he would deliver

 

[Frejsgodes]

Wow. Even in the 75th min he makes runs from midfield into the opponent's box. Amazing player.

 

[darthvader7888]

Should definitely be a starter in midfield. Unless Xavi somehow gets his old form back.

 

[Kerrybai]

Great game, no assist though as his pass took a deflection.

 

[Alarcón]

I thought his passing wasn't that good today. Took too long to pick his passes.

 

[dakt]

I was for Xavi, but after seeing this, Ivan looks like he was born in La Masia. Hope he will keep the level.

You serious?

 

[BBZ8800]

Hope he will keep the level.

He will.
In Croatian NT team he was always more consistent than hyped Modric. (At least in the last 3-4 years)

I believe that he can play for Months without losing his form, unlike Fabregas, for example.
He has some sort of German mentality/professionalism.
